Coupeville Ferry

Watching the ferry come and go,

There are passengers coming home;

Others excitedly, departing,

To discover adventures unknown.

Pioneer families are the royalty,

First on and off the trips afloat…

We all resent island overcrowding,

Blaming the last ones off the boat.

Sometimes I park in tourist spots,

Observing their awe of incredible views…

It renews the scenes I take for granted.

Ennui dissolves into good news.
